Chapter 75.2
It seems that the task of recruiting Innates must be put on the agenda!
Just then, Heshen stood up and said loudly, Minister Li is correct! His Majesty has demonstrated both literary grace and martial prowess, developing the nation into a great country in just a few short months, a rarity in both ancient and modern times. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a sage ruler! Therefore, this humble servant earnestly requests that His Majesty change the state title so as not to fail to live up to His Majestys wise and valiant reputation!
We earnestly request that His Majesty change the state title! the officials said in unison.
Lin Beifan laughed triumphantly, My esteemed ministers, you speak sensibly! However, I believe we should wait a bit longer! Lets wait until our nation grows even stronger before we consider changing the states name. The pressing matter at hand is to recruit a few Innates!
Recruit Innates? The officials were all perplexed.
Soon after, an imperial notice was posted.
Come and see, what good news is this?
So it turns out His Majesty wishes to recruit Innate experts. It seems we stand no chance!
Even if we stand no chance, we can still take a look! His Majesty feels that there is a serious shortage of masters in the country, hence the recruitment, offering very generous terms! If you want an official position, youll get it; if you want money, its yours. Its truly enviable!
In addition to the generous terms, one condition within reason is also promised!
The common folk were abuzz with discussion.
At the same time, news of the event spread rapidly to other countries.
However, the reaction abroad was lukewarm. After all, it was a very common occurrence; which country didnt want to attract the strong?
Within the imperial palace.
A striking young girl in black appeared beside Lin Beifan. She reached for an apple in front of her and began to nibble on it happily. While eating, she said, Little foolish emperor, I heard you want to recruit an Innate?
Lin Beifan was somewhat speechless: Yaoyao, can you use the main entrance next time and wait to be announced before coming in? Every time you barge directly into my imperial palace, it gives everyone the scare!
What a hassle! Yaoyao said nonchalantly.
Lin Beifan sighed, Its a good thing youre a girl, if you were a guy
What would you do if I were a guy?
I would invite you to be an official, a high-ranking official! Lin Beifan declared.
Yaoyao was surprised, Really? That good?
Of course, its all good. As long as you cut it with a knife, you can take up the post immediately! Lin Beifan chuckled. (TLN: Eunuch)
Yaoyao:
You havent answered my question yet. I heard youre looking to recruit an Innate? Why make such a sudden decision? Yaoyao asked.
Because the Xia Kingdom is in dire need of experts, naturally, I thought about recruiting more people!
At that moment, Lin Beifan had a thought; wasnt the person before him an Innate?
She seemed like someone easy to persuade!
So, Lin Beifan spoke up, Yaoyao, why dont you join my kingdom?
Me? Join you? Yaoyao was bewildered.
Lin Beifan nodded repeatedly: Yes, come and serve as an official in the Xia Kingdom! You wont be bothered on normal days, and if something comes up, you can decide whether to deal with it or not. How about that for a condition?
I guess its not impossible!
Yaoyao said while munching on fruit: But you should think it through. My identity is quite special. If I join your kingdom, it could bring you a lot of trouble in the future!
It doesnt matter, I dont care! Lin Beifan declared without hesitation.
Right now, he just wanted to make the country stronger. If the country became stronger, so would he.
As long as he himself was powerful, he could handle any problem.
Everything else was beyond his consideration.
Fine! Since you dont care, then Ill join your country! Yaoyao said cheerfully.
Lin Beifan was delighted, Yaoyao, youre so kind!
But
Yaoyao chuckled, Now that Im a minister in your Xia Kingdom, shouldnt you give me some money to play? Im not asking for much, just a few tens or hundreds of millions!
After saying this, she rubbed her hands together, waiting for Lin Beifan to pay up.
No money for you, but I can offer you something else! Lin Beifan said with a rogues grin.
Youre not really going to let me work for nothing, are you? Yaoyao was completely stunned.
Lin Beifan retorted, Who says? Didnt I say Ill give my body to you?
Yaoyao:
Whenever you want, its fine, and if you have any special requests, you can make them. I will definitely satisfy you!
Yaoyao:
A moment later.
Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow
As Yaoyao was helping Lin Beifan to promote blood circulation and disperse bruises, she said resentfully, You foolish emperor! Youre quick to command others, but when it comes to paying up, you dont give a dime. Ive never seen anyone as stingy as you!
Yaoyao, actually, the reason I do this is just to make you remember me, Lin Beifan said emotionally.
Really? Yaoyaos heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Yes!
Lin Beifan sighed, Because in this cold and indifferent era, the best way to make someone never forget you is to owe them money and not pay it back! The more you owe, the heavier their thoughts of you! Do you now understand my good intentions?
Yaoyao burst into laughter, Nonsense! I wont talk to you anymore!
After chatting for a short while, Yaoyao left.
Lin Beifan pulled up the Empire Sandbox and found that the national power had grown significantly.
Were still two people short! The revolution is not yet successful, and my comrades must continue to work hard!
At that moment, a woman dressed in plain white clothes and wearing a mask stood in front of the imperial notice.
Although she was cloaked while covering half of her face, one could tell from her eyes and figure that she was certainly a woman of ethereal beauty.
Her gaze quickly swept over the imperial notice, lingering long on the section about conditions within ones capabilities, before she turned and left.
That evening, while Lin Beifan was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, the candle suddenly went out.
When the light was restored, a woman dressed in white was already standing beside Lin Beifan with a sharp sword pointed at his neck.
Eunuch Liu was startled and said in a fluster, Put down the sword! Do not harm His Majesty!
The woman paid no attention to Eunuch Liu but instead said to Lin Beifan, Dont move! Make another move, and your head will fall to the ground!
Lin Beifan, however, laughed and pushed her sword away, Stop joking. Your sword lacks the intent to kill. You never really wanted to kill me! Beautiful lady, what brings you here in the dead of night?
The woman was somewhat taken aback, People outside say you are a foolish emperor, it seems that its not completely true!
Thats not important, the point is the purpose of your visit! Lin Beifan said with a smile.
The woman fell silent for a moment, then said, I have come for the imperial notice!
Lin Beifan laughed, So thats how it is, your way of meeting is truly unique!
The woman said, Its just to let you know what Im capable of!
Your skills are indeed impressive to get so close without being detected by Eunuch Liu. You are an assassin, and your abilities are highly admirable. I need talents like you! Please take a seat, and now lets have an honest and open discussion!
Lin Beifan invited her to sit down and ordered tea to be brought: What is your name, what is your background, and what are your terms? Or rather, what would you like me to help you with?
The woman was cautious, did not sit down, nor did she drink the tea Lin Beifan offered.
She spoke directly and very seriously, My name is Bai Zhu! As for my background, its not convenient to disclose at the moment! As for my terms, I hope you will help me overthrow the Great Xue Kingdom and kill the ruler of the Great Xue Kingdom! I am willing to serve you loyally for life after the deed is done!
Lin Beifan was shocked!
As soon as she spoke, her condition was hell difficulty!
